Hello World!
According to the latest poll, TrekToday has 15 visitors who are fluent Klingon speakers and 107 readers who can "get by on Quo'nos". The other 678 people who voted are just like me: totally clueless. I'd be interested to hear from any of the 15 who are fluent Klingon speakers — how long it took you to learn, whether you regularly converse with other Klingon speakers, etc. So, send me an email if this applies to you.
